New features and improved OpenGL??? GIVE ME EVERY WEEEK!
Some users really don't have a clue.
That's what people used to say about MS too...
It's great that they add things, but I haven't had any complaints since 10.6.0, so I haven't actually seen any improvements. The updates have only meant that I have to make a reboot, something I usually never need to do.
On a side note, Apple also always made fun of MS because you had to reboot Windows every time there were updates. Well that's also the case with OS X now. Reboot for Safari, reboot for iTunes, reboot for almost everything. I understand rebooting for 10.6.x updates, but iTunes?!?
I hope Apple makes the individual iApps available as I don't need iLife '11, just iPhoto '11. So here's hoping the Mac App Store goes live soon.
iPhoto9.1 in iLife11 is still seriously flawed (with my large library), be careful and wait for an iLife update before you dip into it and risk having corrupted data, lost original photos......... check out apple discussions and the myriad of reported problems there
and where is the Mystery App propagated by apple some time ago? seems so mystical that it disappeared with a POOF!
I also think this will be out before Christmas and Apple will probably release iWork '11 alongside the Mac App Store. It'd be a great strategy to release the individual apps as well as a (cheaper) bundle with all 3 of them.
I'm still hoping for full OpenGL 3.1 support, but I think we'll only see it in OS X Lion, regretfully...

Noted. I always make sure I have EVERYTHING backed up before installing any new software.
Old Windows habit. Once learnt, never forgotten!
If you don't like it, just cancel your developer account. If you don't have a developer account, why are you complaining about a developer release?
I'm betting Steve would love to say that during the first week the mac app store soled over x xxx xxx downloads. 'And our customers are loving it..'
It will be out before January I think, probably before Christmas.

It's only the combo update that weighs in at a gig. The delta update should be far smaller.
I always download and install the combo update for peace of mind.
trust in Time Machine PLUS other extra important data backups!
doubleplusgood!
i'll wait a week or 2 before installing ANY apple software from now on!
Yeah it's so hard to download 1000 megabytes in 21st century, i will have children by the time it finishes.
The only thing that is actually missing from the OpenGL 3.x implementation is the up to date GLSL given that all the 3.x extensions are already there and available. I wonder though whether the lack of OpenGL Shading Language revision 1.40 is because of the number of components that rely on GLSL and would require massive testing to ensure compatibility isn't broken.
Someone else mentioned that they doubt an update won't come till Lion - I'd say the same thing. If they're going to introduce a really big disruptive change I'd say they'll leave it for Lion where they can test the whole lot at once rather than creating a fiasco in an otherwise purely system update.
Apple today seeded a new version of Mac OS X 10.6.6, known as Build 10J537, to developers. The update comes four weeks after the initial developer build was seeded to developers even before Mac OS X 10.6.5 saw its public release.
Interestingly, we've been told that the new build is being listed as a golden master version for those accessing it through the Mac App Store developer program. The designation would suggest that Apple is preparing to release this version to the public in the near future. The listing for regular Mac developers not participating in the Mac App Store aspect of the program appears, however, to not carry any mention of it being a golden master build.
Mac OS X 10.6.6 Build 10J537 offers "developer support for fetching and renewing App Store receipts" and the seed notes ask developers to focus their testing efforts on Bonjour, Dock, OpenGL, Printing and Spotlight. The build weighs in at 1000 MB as a combo update.

According to that size of the combo it has increased since 10.6.5 but I wonder whether it includes updates to any components since 10.6.5 besides the AppStore. Although some here speculate that 10.6.6 would be the last I'd say that the last update will probably be 10.6.7 or 10.6.8.
I don't know where MR got the "golden master" rumor from - it doesn't show as a Golden Master anywhere in the portal that I can see (and yes, I am registered for Mac App Store development)
Agreed; and if it were a golden master why would it have a revisioner? why not provide the same download that an end user would receive? Reminds me of 10.6 and the number of people claiming that 10A432 wasn't the golden master because some twitt on Twitter claimed it was 10A435 but when asked he refused to reply. I really wonder some times whether Macrumors editors realise that maybe sometimes they're being taken on a ride by trolls.

Just fixed the typo there

...and it is something we are very excited about"
